To obtain elevation value for your satellite, refer to the elevation value written on Page 3.IMPORTANT: Loosen ele-
vation lock bolts in curved slots (both sides), and pivot bolts (both sides of AZ/EL Skew mount) 1/2 turn (Ref . Fig.
3.2). Turn elevation adjustment bolt clockwise to decrease elevation and counterclockwise to increase elevation.
Align the edge of clamp with appropriate mark on housing at the desired elevation reading (Ref. Fig. 3.1). Scale is
